Chapter 31: The Great Dark Breathing Method

Ji Xun has been hired.

It went incredibly well.

He became a corpse collector in the City of Innocence.

With a career, it's like being integrated into this sin city all at once.

......

Three days in a flash.

117 Dongcheng Street, where the branch of the Golden Oak Security Company is located.

There is a lonely big red brick and glass house here.

Behind the house covered in black glass towered a stone tower belching black smoke, the chimney of the crematorium.

This is the place of work and dormitory of the corpse collector.

Three basement floors.

This is the morgue.

Bodies collected from various parts of the East Five Districts of the Innocence City were to be left in the morgue for a few days before they could be incinerated until the mana had completely dissipated.

On weekdays, except for transporting corpses, no one will come to this obscure place at all.

There were no living people on the entire floor, only a few dozen "customers".

They sat quietly tucked into the cold compartments that looked like drawers.

The cold air condensed wisps of white mist on the ground, and it was cold and lonely.

And at this moment, in the morgue, Ji Xun opened his eyes from meditation.

He exhaled a slight breath of turbidity and sighed: "Eh... This [Great Darkness Breathing Method] is not very efficient. ”

His expression was extremely indifferent, and the iron boxes of corpses around him did not make him feel a trace of fear.

Instead, it's quiet, private, and undisturbed.

Ji Xun can use the [Demon Feast] unscrupulously to devour the transcendent characteristics left in the corpse.

The only fly in the ointment is that most of these corpses have been disposed of by the corpse collectors with alchemical potions, and most of their extraordinary properties have been lost.

But even so, it was enough for him to devour for the time being.

This is the third day of his work as a corpse collector, and the values of his body have changed drastically.

"Season Hunt"

Power: 1.13

Constitution: 1.09

Dexterity: 0.84

Spirit: 4.85

Mana: 65/65

Halo: Doom Gambler

Elemental affinity: Dark 12 / Light 3 / Earth 4 / Wind 2 / Water / Fire 3 / Thunder 1 / Wood 3

Skills: [Demon Feast Lv0 (36/500)], [Shadow Stealth Lv0 (12/100)], [Advanced Gun Mastery (1566/3000)], [Great Dark Breathing Lv1 (2/300)]

......

With the convenience of the profession of corpse collector, Ji Xun has gone from a morbid attribute of about 0.7 when he first came to this world, and now he feels much stronger than the state before he crossed over.

And the affinity of each department, the mana power has also grown steadily.

And that's just three days.

Ji Xun can already imagine that he really has to stay for a few months and a half, what kind of attribute will grow at that time?

The future is promising.

He stood up and put away the pamphlet in front of him that had the route of the Qi pulse.

This is the [Great Dark Breathing Method] that he bought on the black market of Innocence City three days ago.

The name is bluffing, that is, the dark-based breathing method on the worst street on the market, and it costs nearly 50,000 yuan.

This has cost him almost all of his current cash.

I bought this breathing method to improve the dark affinity as soon as possible, so that I can use [Shadow Diving] without restrictions.

After penance in this booklet, it is theoretically possible for people to cultivate to the sixth stage of mana.

Three days ago, the night he got the booklet, he began to try his hand at practice.

The comprehension +10 attribute brought by [JOKER] allows him to easily understand the obscure vocabulary descriptions in the classics.

After a few attempts, he directly grasped the qi that the classics described as "1-4 weeks" for normal people to find.

That was the first time Ji Xun had experienced the outrageous buff effect of comprehension on skill learning.

Then he began his formal meditation practice that night.

I tried to follow the breathing method to operate the mana in my body according to a specific law, and I was able to control it.

And with the breath absorbing the dark elements in the air, after each large turn, the mana also increased.

The changes were more straightforward on the dashboard, with the breath working fully once, increasing the mana by about 0.1.

Half an hour cycle, theoretically speaking, meditation overnight can increase mana by about 1 point.

As the proficiency increases, the efficiency of the breathing method gradually increases, and the resulting mana power increase also increases.

As of today, the breathing method has risen to Lv1, and the elemental absorption efficiency has increased by several percent.

This made Ji Xun gradually realize how strong the demon mark he fused was.

But it was because he was strong that he disliked the [Great Dark Breathing Method] again.

[JOKER] This epic demon mark brought him the affinity of the whole system of elements, and he could clearly perceive all kinds of spell spirit elements in the air, earth, wind, water, fire, light, darkness, thunder, wood, metal...

That is, any kind of mana he absorbs now will not cause mana conflict.

And the [Great Dark Breathing Method] he is cultivating now only absorbs a single "dark attribute mana", and the absorption efficiency is still very low.

It's like there are a hundred free spell spirit elements in the air, and the dark elements only account for about a dozen. Then his breathing method absorbed about a fraction of this tenth, and the final efficiency was as low as you can imagine.

So Ji Xun had an idea in his mind that he didn't know if it was reasonable.

He felt that if he could absorb multiple elemental particles at the same time, wouldn't his mana power skyrocket?

But the thought is just a thought.

Breathing is a must-learn skill for spell masters, and it's very expensive.

His broken breathing method cost 50,000 yuan, and he asked about the price of the "black iron quality" breathing method, and it was often more than 100,000 yuan.

Not to mention the silver breathing method.

Ji Xun has no money to think about buying it at the moment.

All he had in his hand was some skill cards he had obtained from the Blackwater mercenaries.

But when he got these loot in the other dimensional space, Chu Jiu kindly reminded him that if he didn't master the spell power of the corresponding attributes, it was best not to use it.

And the card has the hidden mark of the black water group, and it can't be sold.

But there's no need to rush.

At present, the physical fitness is not strong enough, and the [Demon Feast] will also have a feeling of indigestion if it is devoured too quickly.

Ji Xun plans to be a corpse collector for a while longer.

.......

Not long after waking up from meditation, the sound of "crunch" and "crunch" metal grinding came from the cold hallway.

It was the sound of the building's old elevator cables rubbing against the pulleys.

In this secluded third basement floor, it is particularly harsh.

Ji Xun heard it from a long distance.

The elevator bar opened, and a chubby teenager walked out.

He pushed several new corpses into the morgue and beckoned, "The second team has sent a few more 'new customers' and wants us to deal with them." ”

Ji Xun nodded and helped put the body into the cabinet together.

The little fat man's name was Gibb, he was only sixteen years old, and he was also a corpse collector, and he was hired a few days before him.

Because both of them are newcomers, they are doing the dirty work of carrying corpses.

Ji Xun felt that more work was also what he wanted.

If he can stay with the corpse more, he can also devour some more attributes.

But for others, the job isn't so easy.

The little fat man looked tired at the moment, and his eyes also had faint dark circles.

This is not only because he didn't sleep well on two missions last night, but also because he was contaminated by corpses.

The reason why the salary of the corpse collector is high is not because the nature of the work is evasive, and the most important thing is that the life is short!

The out-of-control transcendent characteristics will continue to pollute people who are close to them, and although the corpse collector has a special treatment method, he has been dealing with corpses for a long time, and the frequency of contact is high, and the probability of being polluted and distorted is also extremely high.

It is said that none of the corpse collectors of the Golden Oak Security Company have been on the job for more than a year.

Putting the body in the box, the little fat man said slightly apologetically: "Brother, those expired customers have to trouble you to burn them again." It's really hard for me here. ”

There were dozens of corpses in the morgue, and all kinds of pollution leaked, and he really couldn't bear it.

Ji Xun didn't care: "Hmm." Just leave it here. ”

The little fat man was still a little reluctant, and said, "When the salary is paid, I will invite you to Downing Street for a drink." ”

Ji Xun smiled: "Okay." ”

At this time, Gibb looked at his dark blue arm like a corpse spot, and sighed, "Hey, it's a pity that I don't know anything, otherwise I would have become a treasure hunter." Hunters are dangerous, but they can get rich if they take a chance. When the corpse collector is..."

Ji Xun didn't speak.

If he could, he planned to do the corpse collection work for a few months at first.

The little fat man said again: "By the way, tomorrow the Hunter Guild's free class for card apprentices, do you want to listen to it?" ”

Ji Xun: "Yes." ”

There are no transcendent academies in this innocent city, and he is worried that he doesn't know where to obtain a system of transcendent knowledge, and the hunter will have a course on basic card knowledge that he can't miss.

The little fat man is also looking forward to it, it is always good to learn some knowledge: "When the time comes, we will be together?" ”

"Okay."

Ji Xun nodded.

As soon as the little fat man finished speaking, he was about to leave, when a voice came from the brass pipe on the wall: "Someone has found a corpse in a cellar at 17 Tailor Street." Dong Jiu, you five teams go to deal with a few people, remember to bring more alchemy potions. ”

It's an ancient communication tool for security companies, with special brass pipes that carry orders from the office to all parts of the building.

The little fat man spread his hands when he listened, and said bitterly: "It's going to be a mission again." ”

Ji Xun also nodded.

The work of the corpse collector is still very ideal, but the frequency of missions is too high, day and night.

With such a simple folk style in Innocence City, it is not normal for a team in the DC area that their team is responsible for not receiving a few violently dead corpses a day.

In the past three days, there have been more than a dozen missions.

The two of them did not dare to delay, ran up quickly, took the toolbox, and then ran into the steam truck on the side of the road.

......

Steam trucks with oak logos on black-painted cars speed through the streets.

There were five people seated in the carriage.

In addition to Ji Xun and Little Fatty, there is also a centipede scar on his face, Captain Dongjiu, and two other old employees, "Leper Liu" and "Bucktooth".

People in this world have strange names, and many people in Innocence City don't like to reveal their real names, but some people really only have a nickname.

Ji Xun has become accustomed to it.

All five wore white gloves and lifeless black, which were the overalls of the corpse collectors.

Ji Xun and the fat man sorted out the toolbox containing bottles and cans of alchemy elixir in their hands.

Dong Jiu and the other two old employees didn't mean to help at all, just chatting boredly.

"The company reported that more than a dozen bodies had been found in the cellar of Tailor Street, and I had to be busy today. Listening to the boss's tone, the customer seems to be quite troublesome this time..."

"Tailor Street? Isn't that a civilian neighborhood, how could so many people die? ”

"Who knows. Let's hope there aren't any tricky customers today. I heard that yesterday, there was an unlucky guy in the 7th team of District 4 who encountered a spell out of control when he was dealing with customers in the weasel street sewer, and the corpse was distorted and grew a jagged tentacle, which directly bit off the root of that guy's life..."

"Hahaha, it's really unlucky."

“...”

The conversations in the carriage are all small talk, but the amount of information is not small.

Ji Xun has learned a lot from several people in the past three days.

But it sounds confusing right now.

In the past few days, he has clearly written down the names of most of the streets in the five eastern districts of the district.

He clearly remembers that Tailor Street is a living area for ordinary people, and there are almost no vicious violent incidents.

Now not only dead people, but a dozen at a time?

But in any case, there are many corpses, which is a good thing for him.

It's best to pollute as much as possible.
